Hi, AuReLiE!

What kind of mediums are you going to be using to design the poster, please? For instance - computer designed, painted, drawn, etc. It would be helpful to know about that.

Thanks!

Are you using Photoshop or Illustrator? I would make a cool collage. Perhaps the background can be flags from around the world and you might lower the opacity to 40% or 50%. Build on top with some mask samples. I would add drop shadows to the masks to make them pop. Then of course you would add your copy.

Looking at different posters will give you layout ideas.

If you are not using a computer, check out the above poster link for some inspiration. Remember not to overcrowd the images. You can still create a collage.

I'm in class right now so got to go! :D
